The aircraft called "The Last Crossbone Gundam" finally appears as the ROBOT SPIRITS.

Cross Bone Gundam, but each machine, including the X-1 in the series initial have been lineup, new modeling all, including the body in order to put the latest technology in this product. This time, the 3D scanning a prototype made by hand, that finish as 3D-CAD design data, have adopted dare process that seemingly duplication of effort.

The results were examined from various aspects, the person arrow of this time singled out as the original charge of standing is Mr. Kenichi Miyashita. Mr. Miyashita is known as the prototype designer for the SDX series of TAMASHII NATIONS products and the S.H.Figuarts, MASKED RIDER RYUKI, and MASKED RIDER BLADE series, but he has also sculpted many Gundam models in the past, including the Crossbone Gundam, which he has created many times as full scratch examples for magazines and prototypes for products.

Mr. Miyashita, who has also worked on SD Gundam full of free play elements and new prime bodies of human body movable figures, worked on this "ROBOT SPIRITS <SIDE MS> as a crossbone Gundam of" 2014 version ROBOT SPIRITS". CROSSBONE GUNDAM X1 FULL CLOTH".

■ Toward the Cross Bone Gundam 2014 edition.

Based on Yuichi Hasegawa's manga, Crossbone Gundam has continued to develop a number of 3D products and games. Since there is no official setting picture of so-called animation, its design form is characterized by being finely different depending on the source. The 2009 version of the ROBOT SPIRITS was designed with a strong awareness of Yuichi Hasegawa's comic version, but this time the overall form is based on the comic version, but various expressions have been expressed so far so that it can be more widely sympathized. The design is incorporated in various places.

The reproducibility of the characteristic head shape and the details added to the points such as the shoulders and undercarriage emphasize the quality as the latest ROBOT SPIRITS.

In addition, while aware of the form of the comic version of Skull of both shoulders are projecting large in relation to the equipment "full cross", the detail will be close to the design of Mr. Hajime Katoki, become the culmination of Crossbone Gundam to continue to evolve with the times It was kept in mind as.

"Full Cross" part has become a modeling that emphasizes balance of the sketch of Mr. Hajime Katoki, the detail.

Furthermore, the ROBOT SPIRITS"Gundam F91"When"Victory GundamSize and design when compared to the "has been studied.

■Body movable structure that has been pursued for Crossbone Gundam.

The movable gimmick has a unique format compared to the latest ROBOT soul, whose movable performance has been greatly enhanced. The structure with few gaps while maintaining a silhouette that is conscious of human body movement, such as twisting elbows, multi-movement of hips, and movement of knee joints, is a fusion with the prototype technology of the SHFiguarts series. Its movable parts are 1.5 times that of the 2009 version of Crossbone, but it is still easier to move.
In addition, the joint look peek at the time of moving, detail-up has been subjected to feel the mechanical.

By forearm is rotated, spread the width of the arms holding and posing. As of elbow range of motion is also the right image, it can be bent significantly to an angle which is in contact to the shoulder by the effect of forearm rotation (left arm). Also 90 degrees movable state with its brand marker to the side (right arm).

It incorporates a joint that warp-crouched, twisting and multi-movable in the abdomen, corresponding to the bold action of cross bones.

The shoulder base, broaden the range of poses has a built-in drawer movable to obliquely forward (a state in which the left shoulder was pulled out of the image). Further, the exposed easily hip, have been attempted a new approach to mechanism and detail are integrated.

Joint structure and shape also in the design that has been taken into account in the cross-Bone Gundam dedicated, silhouette at the time of bending the knee joint is adapted to draw a natural arc.

■ effect parts of analogue modeling representation lust.

As an optional part, the effect that reproduces the characteristic active scene in CROSSBONE GUNDAM X1 FULL CLOTH is reproduced by modeling. In addition to the first three-dimensional I-field effect that became a big showcase in the play, a huge beam effect for Muramasa Blaster is also included. The mystery of modeling that can be expressed only because it is an analog hand prototype emphasizes the presence of Crossbone.

First reproduction to become I field effect. Skull part is firmly be attached to the arm portion, the effect can also be used at that time. Beam effect of Muramasa Blaster is a 3-part configuration, the tip replaceable.

■ as a toy, more interesting.

Furthermore, the 2014 version of the ROBOT SPIRITS is equipped with a full-cross deployment mechanism as a toy original gimmick. This is a gimmick that seeks further action while equipping all the weapons, "as a result of pursuing a play value that seems to be a ROBOT SPIRITS that can be moved and played," says Miyashita. The deployment of the full cross is flexible, and you can enjoy the unprecedented pose with the "width of play" that is reminiscent of SDX, such as flipping the cloak and spreading it like wings. ..

The right shoulder of the left image is a normal full cross, and the left shoulder is a state where the cloak parts are rearranged and connected to the back side. By rearranging both, it is possible to expand it as shown in the image on the right. You can enjoy the original form only for the ROBOT SPIRITS.

Evolution as a 2014 version, modeling design by Miyashita said, and play value that original gimmick was also joined. All inherited Crossbone Gundam, "full cross" is finally sortie.
